Terms and Conditions

Hamburg, April 15, 2025

These Conditions

(1) This website (the "Site") and/or the services, including all related mobile applications (together, the "Services") and all offers and sales of products ("Products") through the Site, are owned and operated by Cornel Hecht / PPGsynth.com (hereinafter also referred to as "we", "us", and "our"). These Terms and Conditions ("Conditions") set forth the terms under which visitors or users (collectively, "Users" or "you") may visit or use the Site and/or the Services and purchase Products.

2) By accessing or using the Services, you agree to and are bound by these Conditions. If you do not agree to all of the Conditions, you may not access the Site or use the Services. Please read these Conditions carefully before accessing our Site, using the Services, or purchasing Products. These Conditions tell you who we are, how we will sell Products to you, how you can cancel the purchase contract, and what to do if there is a problem.

3) You represent that you are of legal age and possess the legal authority, right, and freedom to enter into a binding agreement based on these Conditions and to use the Services and purchase Products. If you are a minor, you require the permission of your parents or legal guardian to use the Services or purchase Products.

Purchase of Products

(1) The purchase of Products is subject to the Conditions in effect at the relevant time.

(2) When you purchase a Product: (i) you are responsible for reading the full item description before making a binding purchase, and (ii) the completion of an order on the Site (by completing a payment process via the "Order with costs" button or a similar button) may constitute a legally binding contract for the purchase of the relevant Product, unless these Conditions provide otherwise.

3) You can select products from our product range and place them in the shopping cart by clicking on the corresponding button. Our prices are listed on the Site. We reserve the right to change our prices at any time and to correct any unintentional pricing errors. These changes will not affect the price of Products you have already purchased. During checkout, you will be shown an overview of all the Products you have placed in the shopping cart. The overview includes the essential characteristics of each Product as well as the total price for all Products, the applicable sales tax (USt./MwSt./VAT), and any applicable shipping costs.

On the payment page, you will also have the opportunity to review the products and quantities and, if necessary, to change, remove, or correct them. You can also use the editing function to identify and correct any input errors 1 before submitting your final binding order. All specified delivery times apply from receipt of your payment of the purchase price. By clicking the "Order with costs" button, you are placing a binding order for the listed products at the stated price and shipping costs. To complete the order process via the "Order with costs" button, you must first acknowledge these Conditions as legally binding for your order by clicking the corresponding box.

(4) We will then send you an order confirmation by email, in which your order is listed again and which you can then print or save using the corresponding function. Please note that this is an automatic notification that only confirms that we have received your order. It does not indicate that we have accepted your order.

(5) The legally binding agreement for the purchase of the Products is only concluded when we send you a declaration of acceptance by email or dispatch the Products to you. We reserve the right not to accept your order. This does not apply in cases where we offer a payment method – and you choose this payment method for your order – where a payment transaction is initiated immediately upon submission of your order (e.g., electronic transfer or real-time transfer via PayPal, Giropay, Paydirekt). In this case, the legally binding agreement is considered concluded when you have initiated the order process, as described above, via the "Order with costs" button.

(6) The purchase contract can be concluded in the English language. After the contract has been concluded, the contract terms will be stored by us, and you will no longer have access to them.

Right of Withdrawal

(1) The PPG 1002 is manufactured exclusively according to customer specifications. Therefore, there is no right of withdrawal pursuant to § 312g para. 2 no. 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

(2) The buyer expressly agrees that the execution of the contract will commence before the expiry of the withdrawal period and has been informed that their right of withdrawal will thereby expire (§ 356 para. 5 BGB).

Warranty for Products

We are liable in accordance with the statutory warranty provisions for defects in quality and/or defects in title of the Products you purchase from us.

Storage of Online Payment Details

You can save a preferred payment method for future use. In this case, we will store this payment information in accordance with applicable industry standards, if any (e.g., PCI DSS). You can identify your saved card by its last four digits.

Member Account

(1) To access and use certain areas and features of our Site, you must first register and create an account ("Member Account"). You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your Member Account.

(2) If someone other than yourself accesses your Member Account and/or your settings, they can perform all actions available to you and, for example, make changes to your Member Account. Therefore, we strongly advise you to keep your Member Account login details secure. Such activities may be assumed to have been carried out by you and on your behalf, and you alone may be responsible for those activities that occur under your Member Account – regardless of whether or not they were specifically authorized by you – as well as for any damages, expenses, and losses resulting therefrom. You are liable for activities related to your Member Account in the manner described if you negligently enabled the use of your Member Account by failing to exercise reasonable care in protecting your login details.

(3) You can create and access your Member Account via a designated webpage or through a third-party platform such as Facebook (the "Social Network Account"). If you register via a third-party platform account, you hereby grant us access to certain information about you that is stored in your Social Network Account.

(4) We may permanently or temporarily block or suspend your access to the Member Account, without any liability to you, to protect us, our Site, and our Services, or other users, for example, if you violate provisions of these Conditions or applicable laws or regulations in connection with your use of the Site or your Member Account. This may occur without prior notice if the circumstances require immediate action; in this case, we will inform you as soon as possible. Furthermore, we reserve the right to terminate your Member Account by email with a two-month notice period, for example, if we discontinue our Member Account program. You can stop using and request the deletion of your Member Account at any time by contacting us.

You agree to cooperate fully with us in the investigation of any suspected or actual activity that violates these Conditions.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our Services and related content (and any derivative works or enhancements thereof), including but not limited to all text, illustrations, files, images, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, information, content, materials, products, services, URLs, technology, documentation, trademarks, service marks, brand names, and trade dress, as well as interactive features and all intellectual property rights therein, are either owned by us or licensed to us (collectively, "our intellectual property rights"), and nothing in these Conditions grants you any rights in connection with our intellectual property rights. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by mandatory statutory provisions for the use of the Services, you acquire no rights, titles, or interests in our intellectual property rights. All rights not expressly granted in these Conditions are expressly reserved.

Disclaimer of Warranty for the Use of the Site and Services

The Services, our intellectual property rights, and all information, materials, and content made available in connection therewith and provided to users free of charge are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied (including warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or warranties regarding the security, reliability, timeliness, accuracy, and performance of our Services, among other things) – except in cases of malicious non-disclosure of defects. We do not warrant that free Services will be provided without interruption or error-free, or that they will meet your requirements. Access to the Services and the Site may be suspended or restricted due to repairs, maintenance, or updates. The warranty for Products that you purchase from us, as set out in the "Warranty for Products" section above, remains unaffected by this.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from and against any and all actual or alleged claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Website and the Services in violation of these Conditions, including, without limitation, any use that violates the restrictions and requirements set forth in the "Permitted Use" section, unless such circumstances are not attributable to your fault.

Limitation of Liability

(1) We shall only be liable for intent, gross negligence, negligent injury to life, limb, or health, or for negligent breach of a material contractual obligation, and only in the case of paid services or the sale of products. A "material contractual obligation" means an obligation whose fulfillment is a prerequisite for the proper implementation of the agreement and upon whose fulfillment you typically rely and may reasonably rely. Our liability for slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation is limited to the amount of typical and foreseeable damage for this type of contract. Our liability under the Product Liability Act or in the event that we have explicitly given a guarantee remains unaffected by this.

(2) The foregoing provisions shall apply to our contractual liability (including liability for futile expenses) and non-contractual liability (including liability in tort), as well as liability arising from transactions prior to the conclusion of the contract (culpa in contrahendo). They shall also apply in favor of our managing directors, officers, other legal representatives, employees, and vicarious agents.

Amendment of the Conditions and the Services; Discontinuation

We reserve the right to amend these Conditions from time to time at our sole discretion to take into account changes in the law or additional features we may introduce, or if we otherwise develop our business. Therefore, you should review these Conditions regularly and in any event during the checkout process when you purchase Products. The new Conditions shall apply to any new order you place after the date the new Conditions come into effect. If ongoing services used by you are affected by the changes to the Conditions, we will take your legitimate interests into account to a reasonable extent. We will inform you of such changes in good time in advance. The changes shall be deemed accepted by you if you do not object to these changes within two months of this notification. We will inform you of this in our notification. If you object to the changes, we have a special right of termination – without any further obligations to you – which becomes effective on the date the changes come into force.

We may modify the Services, discontinue the provision of the Services or one or more features of the offered Services, or restrict the Services. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend access to the Services themselves – without stating reasons and without further obligations. If possible under the given circumstances, we will notify you of this in good time in advance and will duly take your legitimate interests into account in such measures.

Links to Third-Party Websites

The Services may contain links that allow you to leave the Site. Unless otherwise stated, the linked pages are not under our control, and we are not responsible for the content of any linked site, any links contained in a linked site, or any changes or updates to such sites. We are not responsible for any transmissions received from a linked website. Links to third-party websites are provided for informational purposes only. The fact that we have added links to other websites does not mean that we endorse their owners or their content.

Applicable Law

(1) These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the [Federal Republic of Germany] (without regard to its conflict of law provisions).

2) The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which can be accessed at: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Please note that we are not obligated to resolve disputes with consumers before alternative dispute resolution bodies.

Miscellaneous

(1) No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

(2) The headings used in these Conditions are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.

(3) Unless expressly stated otherwise: if any part of these Conditions is held to be unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, it is agreed that such part of the Conditions shall be severed and the remaining Conditions shall remain in full force and effect.

(4) Without our prior written consent, you may not assign your agreement with us under these Conditions or any or all of your contractual rights or obligations.

(5) These Conditions constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior written or oral agreements between you and us regarding the Services and the sale of Products.
